Medium
The communication process is made up of four key components. Those components include
encoding, medium of transmission, decoding, and feedback. There are also two other factors in
the process, and those two factors are present in the form of the sender and the receiver. The
communication process begins with the sender and ends with the receiver.

Verbal communication
Verbal communication include sounds, words, language, and speech. Speaking is an effective way of
communicating and helps in expressing our emotions in words. This form of communication is further classified
into four types, which are:
1. Intrapersonal Communication
This form of communication is extremely private and restricted to ourselves. It includes the silent conversations we have with
ourselves, wherein we juggle roles between the sender and receiver who are processing our thoughts and actions. This
process of communication when analyzed can either be conveyed verbally to someone or stay confined as thoughts.
2. Interpersonal Communication
This form of communication takes place between two individuals and is thus a one-on-one conversation. Here, the two
individuals involved will swap their roles of sender and receiver in order to communicate in a clearer manner.
3. Small Group Communication
This type of communication can take place only when there are more than two people involved. Here the number of people
will be small enough to allow each participant to interact and converse with the rest. Press conferences, board meetings, and
team meetings are examples of group communication.
4. Public Communication
This type of communication takes place when one individual addresses a large gathering of people. Election campaigns and
public speeches are example of this type of communication. In such cases, there is usually a single sender of information and
several receivers who are being addressed
Intrapersonal communication and its types
Intrapersonal communication is the communication you have with yourself,
either spoken, written or thought. Intrapersonal communication can be anything
from solving a complex problem in your mind to thinking about what to wear
today or what to have for breakfast.
1. Self-concept or self-awareness
This is the core foundation of intrapersonal communication since it decides
on how you see yourself in relation towards other people. This aspect of
intrapersonal communication consists of your beliefs, your values and your
attitudes.
2. Perception
The perception aspect is focused outwards. How you perceive other people
and the world in general is filtered by your self-concept. Depending on
your beliefs, values and attitudes, you can perceive the same thing different
than another person with differing beliefs, values and attitudes.
3. Expectations
The third type or aspect of intrapersonal communication is regarding
expectations on the future. What do you expect of your own future and the
future of others? Certain people expect to become something great, others
don’t.
Non verbal communication
Communication without the use of spoken language. Nonverbal communication includes gestures, facial
expressions, and body positions (known collectively as “body language”), as well as unspoken
understandings
